Hi Accord,

We're not interested in the IC design (that's really something else, a
lot more exhaustive), but just the registers description and
addresses, clocking and the interface details with the sensors (I2C
communication). The argument "not being capable to release the
datasheets because of the IC design" doesn't really stand. IC design
and registers datasheet are two separate items. I think that they're
still able to provide us with a minimalistic documentation that would
allow us to advance and do things properly. Accord, keep bringing this
argument: "we're not asking for the whole thing but just the registers
descriptions, addresses and the state machine (i.e, setting up a bunch
of registers to serve one functionality)."

- Currently there are no plans for m5602/m5603 to be supported under
- Linux due to resource restrictions.

That's why we're doing the job, right?

Regards,
Ilyes Gouta.

Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
It's the best place to buy or sell services for
just about anything Open Source.
